Hello John,

I’m Clarence Underwood, Lauren’s proud father. I’ve seen how my wonderful wife, Darla, has been reaching out to all of you lately, and I thought, why not me? After all, supporting Lauren’s campaign is truly a family affair for us.

I recently had the opportunity to join Lauren’s latest photoshoot. Check us out:

As a father, I’ve watched Lauren grow from a girl scout interested in our local fair housing commission into an exceptional leader in Congress. I’ve seen firsthand the dedication, the long hours, and the commitment she has to making life better for the families of Illinois’ 14th District.

It’s not about politics for Lauren. It’s about people. It’s about you. And it’s about ensuring that everyone in our community has access to quality health care, good-paying jobs, and safe environments where we all can thrive.

Lauren’s journey to Congress wasn’t easy. She faced incredible odds and a lot of naysayers. But as her dad, I knew she had the resilience and the heart to overcome anything. And thanks to your support, she did. She made history in 2018, becoming the youngest Black woman ever elected to Congress.

Now, Lauren’s fight continues. She’s striving every day to lower everyday costs, improve maternal health, and protect our democratic values against extreme opponents like Jim Marter, who’s spreading dangerous MAGA messages and trying to turn back the clock on progress. We need Lauren’s compassionate, intelligent, and tireless leadership now more than ever.

I’ve been out there with Darla, knocking on doors, joining parades, and talking to folks about Lauren’s achievements. And let me tell you, the excitement and hope that people feel because of her work are incredible. But we can’t do this alone. We need your continued support to ensure she can keep fighting for our community’s needs.

Lauren’s campaign is all about grassroots support, and every single contribution makes a big difference. Whether you can give $10, $25, or $50, your support helps us reach more voters and spread our message of hope and progress.
